Quentin Halys vs Adam Walton prediction

Quentin Halys will aim to bounce back from an early loss to Jack Draper in Dubai.

The Frenchman has made a solid start to the season with five wins from 12 and also holds a 1-0 head-to-head lead over Adam Walton having won in five sets at last year’s Australian Open.

The Frenchman’s defeat at his last tournament has seen him tumble outside the top 100, meaning Walton is suddenly the higher ranked player at 91.

However, the Aussie only has one win in 2026 and given that Halys also triumphed in Adelaide qualifying last year, the mini upset looks a decent shout as well as the possibility of at least one tie break.
